An astounding book by the best living Brazilian novelist
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This book captures the struggles of 3 generations- from Galicia to Brazil. Pinon moves effortlessly across the Atlantic and across time, and at once manages to create an epic, broad story through narrow, penetrating, and profound narratives. She mixes the holy with the profane, commentary on politics with domestic anecdotes. Her book feels like life: a mixture of hope and disappointments, a bubbling cauldron where reality and dreams comingle and flavor each other.
